Students of DSSSL, the International Standard language for
stylesheets, will be interested in the availability of a graduated
series of example stylesheets intended to introduce DSSSL basics.  The
series currently includes the following:

10_mail

   A trivial markup language for mail messages is defined and then a
   series of increasingly more complex (but still very simple)
   stylesheets is presented to show the most basic DSSSL constructs.

20_tstmt

   A markup language for testaments (religious works) is defined and
   an annotated stylesheet is provided for making formatted copies of
   testaments.  A pointer is provided to a collection of major
   religious works to which the example stylesheet can be applied.

21_shaks

   A markup language for the plays of Shakespeare is defined and an
   annotated stylesheet is provided for making formatted copies of
   plays.  A pointer is provided to a collection of the complete
   plays of Shakespeare to which the example stylesheet can be
   applied.
